Guelph's "Where's the Beach?" 8th Season
Beach Volleyball
August 21st, 2010
As the days start to get shorter please ensure that your games start on time especially the 6:30pm game. Have a fun summer.
Games are played rain or shine (but no lightning), cancelled games are not rescheduled. Always show to the game even if it's raining as the weather can change very quickly. At the start of the game the captains are to make the decision if the games are to be cancelled. If lightning cancels any set of games the rest of the games are canceled for the night.
LIGHTNING POLICY: If thunder is heard within 30 seconds of seeing lightning, games will be postponed. All participants must leave the playing area and seek shelter in a building or an automobile. Never stand under trees, in an open field or under an umbrella. Games will resume 15 minutes after the thunder and lightning have moved away. If thunder and lightning are still present 15 minutes after, the game will be cancelled and the score counts as it was when the game was stopped. Halfway point of the game must be reached (13 points by one team) in order for the game to count towards the league standings.
Just a reminder when driving to and from courts in residential neighborhoods to please drive responsibly. If there children out playing even the posted speed limit may be too high. Be considerate and slow down.
Just a reminder there is Social and free food at Frank & Steins, The Stampede Ranch and The Albion Hotel after the game. Hope to see you there...
